If you had to pick one chapter out of all the books, which one would you read? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

FotR: The Shadow of the Past and The Council of Elrond (sorry, had to go for two) - I love the way the story builds up and the connections with the events of the Hobbit are established.

TTT: Helm's Deep - My favourite chapter from when I first read LotR, a great description of a seemingly hopeless battle and wonderfully resolved.

RotK: The Scouring of the Shire - As someone said, Merry and Pippin come into their own.

The Silm: Of Turin Turambar - Tragic and heroic.

The Hobbit: Inside Information - Just recently read that chapter again. The interplay between Bilbo and Smaug, and the development of Smaug's character, are so enjoyable.
